Challenge: Breast Cancer Awareness
October 8 - 14th, 2013
October
is Breast Cancer Awareness Month in many countries around the world,
and the pink ribbon is the movement's most visible symbol. We're
celebrating this week with projects that feature both the color pink and
the awareness ribbon!
My
project features the beautiful Hope stamp set and die set from Paper
Smooches. (This set was designed by Kim Hughes, who lost her mother to
breast cancer.)
Hoping
to have the pink really pop, the card is mostly a nice medium gray
(Date Swirl from Bazzill Basics) accented with the dotted pink
(Slipper). The word "hope" is embossed with a very light pink opaque
embossing powder. I used the ribbon stamp to create a pattern on the
bottom, and added the "loved" sentiment on top. Last, I used the die
set to cut the small ribbon out of Watermelon Sensation.
While
we're talking about Breast Cancer Awareness, please be brave and choose
to Walk the Walk in addition to Talking the Talk. I have first hand
experience with this... I even have friends my age going through breast
cancer treatments now... but I was too afraid to get my own mammogram. If you're 40 and over and haven't done a mammogram this year, pick up
the phone and make an appointment today. And if you don't want to do it
for yourself, please consider doing it for the people who love you.
We
hope you'll join us and make a project for Breast Cancer Awareness. It
could be a scrapbook page, card, etc. You can link your
project here.
Please make sure your creation post has a link back to Cuttin' and Stampin'.
Thanks for playing along! We will be announcing the winners on October 18, 2013.
